Carol responds:
I don't think so. In many cases, there seems to be no connection
between the murder itself and the Horcrux. Certainly, the
Horcrux-to-be doesn't have to be present at the murder. For example, I
don't think that Tom had the diary with him when he used the Basilisk
to kill Myrtle, and he may have worn the ring when he killed his
father, but he didn't know at that time how to make a Horcrux. And
whatever objects he made into a Horcrux with his grandparents'
murders, the locket and Ravenclaw Horcruxes, for example, certainly
were not present. There's a long period, two years at least, between
these murders and the first two Horcruxes (the diary and the ring),
and another two years or so between the Riddles' deaths and the locket
Horcrux. Tom Riddle murdered Hepzibah Smith to steal the locket and
the cup, both of which he subquently made into Horcruxes, but only one
(probably the cup) could have been created with her murder. The other
Horcrux (the locket) probably used a previously committed murder
(probably a Riddle grandparent).

There's no indication that the Horcrux object has to be present at the
murder, or that the murderer needs to know in advance that he'll use
that murder to create a Horcrux. All that's required is a soul split
by murder and a spell to encase the soul bit in an object, presumably
*after* the soul bit has been created, and quite possibly years
afterwards--at least that's how I read it. (See my fruitcake posts
upthread.)

There would be no need for Voldemort to carry any object with him
other than his wand (which Wormtail seems to have hidden after
Voldemort's vaporization--see upthread), and he certainly had no time
to hide anything in Harry's bedroom.

Carol, who thinks that Voldemort went to Godric's Hollow with one
purpose, to thwart the Prophecy by killing Harry, and any Horcrux he
may have intended to make using Harry's murder could have been made at
his leisure afterwards, in private, as far from Wormtail as possible
